Large-scale impacts of selective logging on canopy tree beta-diversity in the Brazilian Amazon

Christopher G. Bousfield et al.

Summary: Selective logging is a major driver of tropical forest degradation. A study on the Amazon rainforest showed that while it has minimal impacts on tree beta-diversity across large spatial scales, it does cause substantial subtractive heterogenization in community composition for larger trees.

Influences of fern and vine coverage on the above-ground biomass recovery in a Bornean logged-over degraded secondary forest

Ryuichi Takeshige et al.

Summary: Tropical secondary forests are commonly found in anthropogenically modified landscapes. However, this study found that in logged-over forests in Borneo, areas covered by ferns and vines appear to hinder the recovery of above-ground biomass (AGB) despite several decades having passed since logging. The presence and abundance of fern/vine thickets have a negative effect on AGB recovery and overall forest health.

Divergent roles of iron and aluminum in sediment organic matter association at the terrestrial-aquatic interface

Kai Nils Nitzsche et al.

Summary: The association of organic matter with iron and aluminum can protect it from breakdown, and the variation in sediment redox and pH regime affects the interaction between these metals and organic matter.

Relationships between tree-community composition and regeneration potential of Shorea trees in logged-over tropical rain forests

Yoshimi Sawada et al.

Summary: Logged-over forests in Southeast Asia vary greatly in tree-community composition, with a focus on whether modified forests can recover to their original states. Research on the regeneration potential of Shorea trees in different forest types showed a close relationship between tree-community composition and regeneration potential. The abrupt reduction in seedling abundance and distribution morphology with decreasing forest intactness indicates a loss of regeneration potential.

Changes of soil chemical properties, microbial biomass and enzymatic activities along a gradient of forest degradation in logged over tropical rain forests, Borneo

Linzi Jiang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in soil chemical properties, soil microbial biomass, and soil enzyme activities in a gradient of forest degradation in logged over tropical rain forests. The results showed that above-ground forest degradation directly affects soil organic matter, soil microbial biomass, and enzyme activities. These changes may in turn feed back to the regrowth or succession of degraded forest ecosystems.

Mapping the Spatial Distribution of Fern Thickets and Vine-Laden Forests in the Landscape of Bornean Logged-Over Tropical Secondary Rainforests

Ryuichi Takeshige et al.

Summary: This study aimed to distinguish fern thickets and vine-laden forests from logged-over forests without dense ferns and vines in Borneo using Landsat-8 satellite imagery and machine learning modeling. The study found that the separation of fern and vine vegetation was effective in distinguishing degraded forests.

Major and persistent shifts in below-ground carbon dynamics and soil respiration following logging in tropical forests

Terhi Riutta et al.

Summary: The study found that soil respiration was significantly higher in logged forests compared to old-growth forests, mainly due to higher soil organic matter (SOM) respiration. In old-growth forests, annual SOM respiration was equal to the organic carbon inputs, indicating equilibrium, while in logged forests SOM respiration exceeded the inputs, leading to carbon loss from the soil.

Topographic Wetness Index calculation guidelines based on measured soil moisture and plant species composition

Summary: Different algorithms used in Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) calculation can impact the relationship between soil moisture and plant species composition. A study in temperate forests found that the method used to calculate TWI affects study conclusions.

The impact of logging on vertical canopy structure across a gradient of tropical forest degradation intensity in Borneo

David T. Milodowski et al.

Summary: Forest degradation through logging has significant impacts on canopy structure, affecting plant area index and its vertical distribution. Airborne LiDAR surveys in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, show the potential for quantifying structural impacts of forest degradation, even in dense and complex tropical forests. This research highlights the importance of detailed monitoring and the use of LiDAR technology in managing and restoring tropical forests.
